The Sheriff Hutton Steeplechases comprising of three races were first held in April 1863 and continued for just a short while until 1870. Apart from a point-to-point meeting organised by the Middleton Hunt at Cape Farm in 1921, steeplechasing did not return to Sheriff Hutton until 2008. This was when the veteran racehorse trainer Mick Easterby agreed to host the opening meeting of the Yorkshire point-to-point season at a newly established three mile course on land close to his New House Farm yard. The new course is believed to be laid out very close to the site of the original course on land known as The Carrs.
